Page of Cups

Why is it that young people have such vivid emotions and wild imaginations?
Perhaps it is because, like the Page of Cups, they have never been taught to
suppress their innate emotional and intuitive power. The Page of Cups is a
person whose imagination is totally free, free to dream wonderful dreams and
to create his life exactly as he chooses. But although his head is in the
clouds, his feet rarely leave the ground. When his energy enters your life
it manifests in one of three ways: as a person around you, as an event that
you will experience, or as a part of yourself that you must bring into full
manifestation.

As an event, the Page of Cups refers almost exclusively to children, since he
is so childlike himself. (Note that childlike does not mean the same thing
as childish!) Pregnancies and the birth of children are often predicted by
the Page of Cups, especially if the Page of Wands is nearby. He can also be
a sign of a relationship or a friendship starting, a new level of happiness
and pleasure in an existing relationship, or any event relating to emotional
beginnings. Such beginnings can appear "out of the blue" or they can come
about through your own initiative, though they're often much more appreciated
and exciting when they're unexpected!

People represented by the Page of Cups are true romantics at heart. A Page
of Cups person will be gentle and compassionate, often highly imaginative and
artistic. He values tranquility and peace, and as such is often out of place
in the modern world because he cannot always cope with conflict. He seems
dreamy and detached a lot of the time, though beneath his quiet calmness lies
a bravery and studiousness that could rival a Knight's. His ideas may seem
elusive and impossible to realize but, more often than not, their base is
solid. Though he can be moody and impractical because he is so rooted in the
spiritual and the emotional, the Page of Cups is always ready to serve.

The Page of Cups often shows a side of yourself that you need to manifest.
This is increasingly common as humanity becomings more and more detached from
its imaginative side in a world of technology and practicality. The Page's
appearance tells you to never stop listening to your intuition and believing
in your dreams. If you cease to dream, he tells us, then your dreams shall
never come true because they do not exist anymore. In your darkest moments,
dreams can often provide a ray of hope through with the Page of Cups can
manifest. Dare to dream and all things become possible.
